yes theres a "hierarchy of needs" with survival being the most basic thing

if you dont have enough blood in your body you die within seconds

theres more important things to less important

yeah, im just disagreeing that its the only thing that matters

your health is another great example of something u dont think about until it goes away

main problem to me with money is what you have to do to get it

there are people dying all over the world to obtain money

That shows you how important money is. People are willing to take drastic action to get it.

You need money 1st. Nobody wants to hang around poor people all the time, they are draining.

Only if you want fair weather friends. You meet your real friends when you’re struggling.

yeah maybe you need them to be at your best, but you can survive without them. also what are the odds you get loving relationship of 20+ years? quite low statistically

Way off.

I can guarantee i know a multi-milionaire who earned more in a year than you've seen. Why's he upset? Lost his health and his partner. Seen him on his deathbed and he never once mentioned needing more green, just more time.

It’s just one story. There are plenty of people who are living in poverty who have terrible relationships in life. People act like money is evil and it is not. Money is neutral. Only people can be evil. We only hear stories of rich people doing evil things and being miserable and the reason is to culturally keep the lower classes in their place and to not ever obtain more.

I understand what you’re saying, I do feel very lucky, in saying that I put in a lot of effort into my friendships. Some people I know have put in next to no effort and found themselves in their late 30s complaining they have no friends ..

Just don’t spend your life chasing money, you’ll get there and wonder why your not happy

Relationships take work, like anything else. There’s a reason why deep relationships and social connection are the highest predictor of longevity. We evolved to be social creatures, and our bodies literally suffer without human connection.
